Chapter Ninety-Five: Heartbeat
In March, the sun was magnificent, and the flying flowers flew over from the hollow flower wall, circling around Jiang Chengzi.
Because of the crisp boy's voice, Jiang Chengzi stood at the door of the courtyard wall, only looking in from the hollow flower wall, and saw a boy in a blue round-necked beard standing on the edge of a small lotus pond, looking into the pavilion and asking. The sun was too strong to see who was in the shadow of the pavilion. But she was sure that the boy on the edge of the lotus pond was not Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was thinner and taller than this boy. Compared with Yang Chen, this boy is more like a little baby, and Yang Chen is like a young man.
"What's the hurry, rest for a few days before leaving. The man in the pavilion replied, his voice casual and lazy.
"I'm afraid my mother will worry. Besides, this is not Chang'an, I'm afraid of thieves. I know these daysβ" The fat boy in blue said in a worried tone.
"I'm here. The people in the pavilion still had a lazy tone.
The fat boy walked into the pavilion and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, who is that girl?"
"I don't know the etiquette, but I'm a year older than you. The pavilion man scolded, but apparently did not get angry.
The fat boy snorted and said, "Don't come and press me at every turn." If you want to say the number of courtesies, you have to bow to me. β
"Huh?" the man in the pavilion dragged out the word, obviously very displeased.
The fat boy seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he coughed twice and said, "Okay, I said the wrong thing, don't you mind." However, I am still very curious, you have always been too lazy to be a woman, that is, sisters and sisters, and you are impatient to talk to them. Why don't you sleep all night and watch over that girl?"
So far. Jiang Chengzi realized that the person in this pavilion was Yang Chen. It's just that his voice seems to be different from the one she had had been at Luoshui Grange before, and she hadn't been sure. Then, the person in the pavilion is Yang Chen. This fat boy is supposed to be another child who was kidnapped by someone's teeth.
"Your character, sooner or later, you won't be able to get along in Chang'an. "He despised the fat boy.
"Phew. I wasn't ready to mix in Chang'an, and when I got older, I naturally went to a state capital, traveled in the mountains and rivers, read and painted, and had a good time. The fat boy said seriously.
Yang Chen chuckled. He said, "Just talk about what you say, but your uncle doesn't believe it, so beware of you." β
The fat boy heard. The tone was not very good, and he said, "Uncle has always disliked me. But I still don't believe it, I'm afraid that those people are making nonsense. β
"Whatever you want. Yang Chen didn't seem to want to continue talking about this topic.
"Hey, are you going to see the girl?" asked the fat boy suddenly.
Jiang Chengzi saw Yang Chen, who was in a white robe and jade crown, coming out of the shadow of the pavilion. Walk up the winding path of the lotus pond. The fat boy also chased him out. A little beggingly, he said, "Ah Chen, can you take me to have a look?"
"Nope. Yang Chen refused directly.
"I'll see. "The fat boy is still stubborn.
Yang Chen stopped, chuckled, and said, "Women's boudoir, how can you enter?"
"How can you enter, then?" asked the fat boy rhetorically.
"Of course I can. Yang Chen was very proud and was about to come over.
Yun Ge was on the side, unable to hold back. Asked: "Ah Zhi, are you a cowardly homesickness?" Don't dare to move forward. β
"Yo, I still know how to use words. Not bad. Jiang Chengzi glanced at Yun Ge. She was very good hearing, so she could naturally hear the conversation between the fat boy and Yang Chen, but Yun Ge couldn't hear it, so she wondered why she was standing here.
"Phew. Yun Ge was dismissive.
Jiang Chengzi didn't pay attention to it, and only asked, "Who is that fat boy?"
"This, you ask my son-in-law. Yun Ge hesitated for a moment, Jiang Chengzi knew from Yun Ge's answer that the fat boy must also have a special identity, so Yun Ge was inconvenient to reveal. She didn't plan to embarrass Yunge, who knew that this guy seemed to be a little afraid of her, so she immediately fluttered her wings and flew into the courtyard, shouting as she flew: "Childe, childe, Miss Azhi is awake, and now I come to see you, but I am afraid of my hometown and dare not come in outside." β
"Cheap birds. Jiang Chengzi scolded secretly, but he laughed, because this Yunge's IQ is actually higher than many people. Know how to throw the problem to your own master at this time.
Yang Chen was walking calmly on the winding path, but as soon as Yun Ge appeared, he roared so loudly, he first paused, and then trotted over.
Jiang Chengzi saw him running over, and somehow, his face was instantly hot, and his heart was pounding. She stopped at the gate of the courtyard, like a little girl who fell in love with someone else for the first time.
Could it be because he might be the one he felt sorry for from the bottom of his heart? Is it because he saw an idol?
She froze in place, her heart beating wildly and her breathing scrambled. She was a little at a loss, but fortunately she was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt, and her hands did not leak anything. It's just that she knew he was near, but she didn't dare to look up at him.
"You, you're awake. He approached, his tone a little unnatural.
"Well, let Yang Gongzi remember, I'm very sorry. She finally found the right words to answer. But as soon as she said this, she regretted that when she decided to come here to see him, she didn't expect it to be such a scene. In other words, in her Jiang Chengzi's past and present life, there has never been a scene that made her so nervous and out of shape.
"No, no. Yang Chen also became nervous.
The two of them stood by the lotus pond on a March day, and suddenly fell into silence, the sun poured down on the city, and the petals swirled in the wind, flying, like a grand rain of petals.
"I say, why are you two?" the fat boy broke the silence.
"Don't make trouble, go back to the house quickly. Yang Chen turned around and shouted.
Jiang Chengzi raised his eyes to look at this fat boy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a chubby face, and with that figure, he was a lively ball.
"Don't go. The fat boy pouted and looked over. Yang Chen didn't allow it, so he jumped over and blocked in front of Jiang Chengzi, saying, "I don't know how to count, you still watch." β
"It's not your wife. Even if it's your wife, you can't be seen?" retorted the fat boy.
"You go back first, I have something to say to her. Yang Chen was in a hurry.
Jiang Chengzi saw that the two of them were coming and going, and they seemed to be very familiar. It is also a gap between the two bickering. She finally calmed down and looked at the two of them calmly. After looking at it, she suddenly felt that maybe it was because of the change of clothes. Yang Chen has grown taller than when he was in Luoshui Grange.
"Nope. No, it doesn't. The fat boy stuck out his tongue, and then he smiled and jumped over, and introduced himself, "I, my name isβ"
"His name is Sun Tai. Yang Chen immediately answered for him.
"Hey, what do you mean. The fat boy was robbed of white and immediately protested.
"Atai. You hurry back to the house and rest, don't lose your courtesy. Yang Chen said again.
The fat boy pouted and said, "When will it be your turn to command me?" He pursed his lips, but said with a smile. "You can call me Atai, I don't know the girl's name?"
He bowed like an adult, and his serious appearance was matched with the appearance of white and tender meat, which was very funny. Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but laugh out loud. said: "My surname is Yang, my name is Ying, and my name is Minzhi." You can call me Ah Zhi. β
"Look at you're older. Shall I call you Sister Azhi?" said the fat boy again, looking very well-behaved.
Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "Okay." Then, she turned to Yang Chen, who was very anxious on the side, and asked with a smile, "Who is this?" Yang Gongzi didn't give an introduction. β
"He is the son of a world friend. I played quite well and were brothers. Yang Chen replied.
Jiang Chengzi thought to himself. If you can play well with him, it must be a rich family. It's just that this Sun surname doesn't know if it's a pseudonym again, and she doesn't ask. He just nodded and said, "Didn't Atai be taken here by the human tooth with you?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Previously, it was Atai who was taken captive in Chang'an. The man wanted to kidnap me, but he mistook my companion for me, and I followed it all the way, but unexpectedly they set a trap at the Weeping Willow Inn, and I landed there. Alas!" he said this, also sighing, waving his hand, "don't say anything. Fortunately, the people have been punished, many remnants are being purged, and a few people have been secretly escorted back to Chang'an. If there are really officials who collude with people to murder the children of the family, they will definitely not be spared. β
"It's nature. It's just that if it is really high-ranking officials who participate, the government and the opposition will be shocked. I don't know how to choose today, after all, after last year's Baqiao incident, the country is still undecided, and the Turks are eyeing it, and they may make a comeback. The steppe barbarians have never been trustworthy. Jiang Chengzi talked to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen pursed his lips and said, "That one is quite courageous and has his own measure, Ah Zhi doesn't have to worry." These people will not harm anyone again. β
The fat boy listened carefully, and then he interjected: "You are very boring, adults talk about this, you also talk about this." Look at this spring is very good, but it will live up to the beautiful scenery. β
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he smiled at each other, and then said: "Atai is right, young man, don't talk about state affairs." Don't let it down. β
"Then why don't you go out and play?" Ah Tai looked at Jiang Chengzi expectantly.
"Okay?" Jiang Chengzi looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "It's good." β
When the chubby Ah Tai heard this, he said very happily: "Ah Chen, then let's go catch fish, there are fish in the pond in the backyard, I saw it yesterday." β
"How can you let Ah Zhi and the girl's family go to catch fish with you?" Yang Chen asked.
Atai touched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Yes." β
Jiang Chengzi saw that he was embarrassed, so he smiled: "You catch the fish, I'll watch from the side." β
"No, then, you're not happy. "Atai is serious.
"I am very happy to see the two of you safe. Don't worry about me, just do it. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Ah Tai disagreed, but Yang Chen said impatiently: "If you want to mess around again, I will let people lock you up." If you want to catch fish, go quickly. I still have something to say to Ah Zhi. β
"You dare. Atai was arrogant and shouted loudly.
Yang Chen said contemptuously: "Why don't I dare?"
"Iβ" As if remembering something, Atai shut up.
Yang Chen had already ordered: "Come here, prepare fishing gear for Prince Atai." β
"Hey, I'm not going to catch fish. Atay raised his hand in disapproval.
Yang Chen ignored him and said directly: "Ah Zhi, I listened to what Yun Ge said, do you have something to ask me?"
"Huh?" Jiang Chengzi didn't think of what he was going to ask him for a while.
"Could it be that Yun Ge is talking nonsense? This beast is getting worse and worse, and he has to be punished. Yang Chen scolded, and then looked up to see where Yun Ge was.
Jiang Chengzi only then remembered that it was about Yun Ge who told Yang Chen that she wanted to know Yang Chen's true identity, so she immediately stopped him from summoning Yun Ge over to be punished, saying, "I remember, I have something to ask you." β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Chen asked, casually picking the peach blossoms on the side and playing with them.
Jiang Chengzi stood in front of him, looking at the young man standing in the depths of the flowers, dressed in white and with a jade crown, his eyebrows were picturesque. That pair of eyes was deep and clear, which reminded her of the fragment in the dream, in March of Chang'an that year, the first sight of the weeping willow top, he was heroic, dressed in military uniform, and came back triumphantly, it seemed that it was also this face.
She looked at him, her thoughts drifting, and her whole being was immersed in this fragmented, sad and sweet dream. When I think of those bits and pieces, it doesn't seem to be a dream, it seems to be a life that I have experienced. And the person in front of him, in that dream, in that life, is the beloved person he misses in his heart, the man he swears to guard, and the warmth he thinks about day and night but never gets close.
"My son is very good-looking, but have you seen enough?" he suddenly came to her and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Chengzi suddenly woke up and realized that he was out of shape, so he lowered his eyes and was silent. He continued to quip: "Your ladies are staring at men like this, and it's not easy to get married." β
"If you don't marry, you are. Jiang Chengzi replied.
He chuckled, then inserted the hairpin made of peach blossoms into her bun, and whispered, "Don't you have something to ask me? β
The voice was high and low like a hand plucking the strings, and her heart was the strings, pounding with his voice.
"I, I just want to know who you are. Jiang Chengzi finally mustered up the courage to say it.
"My name is Yang Chen. He replied.
"Childe said that he knows everything. She was a little annoyed, thinking that he valued her very much when he said that, but the answer was also confused. I don't know if it's because of that dream, she was angry for no reason, and her tone was not very good.
When he saw that she was displeased, he surrendered and said, "All right, all right, I won't tease you." Don't be annoyed. β
"Childe jokes. "She's coquettish.
He laughed and said in a flattering tone, "Alright, alright, I said yes." β
She bowed her head and waited for him to answer. He didn't answer for a long time, Jiang Chengzi was a little curious, looked up at her, he was looking down at her. When the two looked at each other, they blushed with each other. He looked away a little embarrassed and asked, "Why do you know that I am not Yang Chen?"
"Intuition. She replied.
He was a little disappointed, he thought that she had also come with memories, whether she had recognized him. Unexpectedly, she only replied that it was intuition. (To be continued......)
